And could Tyler be an cuter? I don't think so.
Thank you!

I don't have a binder, but I do cards. I have a card for each day of the trip. Each day's card has all the info we need for that day-flight numbers and times, resort confirmation numbers, parks to visit that day, dining plans and confirmation numbers. I have the cards laminated and hole punched and put them on a key ring. They then go into our back pack to take with us!!
But, I digess. I love your binder idea, thanks for posting pictures!!

Wow! That is an awesome idea!!!!!!!! Can you post a pic?

Thank you. And I know you have fond memories of camping at WDW but we camp every summer so I want a resort when I go on vacation! We are heading over there the first night of our trip to check out the campfire and do the fireworks wagon ride!

Re: My "DH Thinks I'm Nuts" Pre Trip Report

How my obsession led to an obsessed 3 year old

Because I am a Disney Freak I have the Travel Channel WDW shows saved on Tivo. When ever I need a "hit" of my WDW addiction I just watch one of those shows.

Well, when we started planning our trip to WDW I wanted to get Ty in on the fun. What a better way than to expose him to the box that has sucked the life out of this country... the TV! (don't get me wrong, Ty is allowed to watch TV but I do monitor what he watches and how much. Thank God for the Disney Channel!)

Ty went nuts. We watched one episode 3 times in a row. He knows the attractions that he wants to try and tells me every day...

"When I am 4 I am gonna go to WDW." And proceeds to talk about all of the attractions, etc.

I SWEAR I had nothing to do with it. He saw the show and HE wanted to watch it again then HE wanted to watch it again. HE brings it up in conversation.

This proves that WDW Freakism is genetic. I am serious. DH thinks I'm nuts.

Anyway....

You may remmber that I mentioned my cousins went to WDW early in the year. Well, when they came home of course I tied them up, sat them down and asked for every detail of the trip. (Ty tied the knots extra tight!)

Ty hung on every word.

When Ty can't calm down, like at the doctors office, I bring up WDW. It works every time.

It's actually kinda weird.....I LOVE IT!

So my Cousin Megan decided to sit down with Ty and come up with a checklist of attractions that he wants to see.

It hangs on my fridge. I have to read it to him every day.

I don't have the heart to tell him that Als Toy Barn will be closed. I tried once and he said that I was wrong and they will open it for him when he gets there. I just can't argue with that logic.

I love that kid and his WDW genetics.

Lisa

Re: My "DH Thinks I'm Nuts" Pre Trip Report

Lisa, that is great! I must have been out of town when you first wrote this, I dont know how I missed it!

Congratulations on following your dream and being successful at it - you go girl!

Your DH and DS are adorable! Ty is a boy after my own heart!

My DS9 was at the doctor's office the other day and spent 5 minutes telling the doctor how "mama has gone CRAZY for Disney". You would think he was complaining until he told him "This is going to be the most special Awesome trip EVER!!" So when you think CRAZY, this is not always BAD! Remember this.

Cant wait to hear the rest of the plans...I showed my DH your binder and he said "come on girl, obviously you are slacking!!" guess I better get to work!

Re: My "DH Thinks I'm Nuts" Pre Trip Report

Congrats on graduating!! Your trip sounds amazing so far.

Are you sure your DH thinks your nuts? Or is he just hiding his excitement but saying your nuts? Sounds like something my DH would do

Re: My "DH Thinks I'm Nuts" Pre Trip Report

I love the fact that you are completey Disney obsessed. When my husband thinks I am nuts, I can show him some things on Mousebuzz and he can realize that I am not alone!
